Nikawr knows how to win. Top of his class, they call him The Victor.

Now, he is the breakout star of Fillet Game, the viral sensation captivating audiences across the Martian city.

Until a lady from his past steps into the game.

One "accident" later, Nikawr finds himself suspended between two planets, working for a new job (?) created overnight. The world he glittered in suddenly plays by entirely different rules.

What does it truly mean to win? How much is one prepared to sacrifice for it?

The game. Has changed.

From Martian electric broadcast studios to the uncharted wilds of yet other planets, Master Jonjon's "Game Fillet Game: A Dive into Influencing Careers… Uninvented Jobs… Surprise Missions…" is a high-stakes journey through ambition, loyalty and friendship.
